Early on October 24, a series of Israeli strikes hit the Syrian capital, Damascus, and the central governorate of Homs, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency.
The strikes were launched from the directions of the occupied Golan Heights and northern Lebanon, a Syrian military official told the state-run news agency, adding that two sites in the Damascus neighborhood of Kafar Sousah and another in the countryside of Homs were hit.
According to the unnamed official, a service member was killed and at least seven others were wounded in the strikes, which also caused material losses.

The strike on Homs hit a truck at a military checkpoint close to the town of al-Qusayr in the southwestern countryside, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based pro-opposition monitoring group said in a report. However, pro-government media reported that a bridge was targeted.

Israel has escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip last October, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
After expanding operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon last month, the Israeli military announced that it will work to prevent the supply of any weapons from Iran to Hezbollah through the Lebanese-Syrian border.
On October 21, the Israeli military claimed responsibility for a strike that hit the highly-secured al-Mazzeh neighborhood in Damascus. A military spokesman said at the time that the strike targeted the head of Hezbollah’s financial arm responsible for funneling cash from Iran to the group.
